About this title

Synopsis

"As a skier and ski teacher, I have learned a lot from Harald Harb. His insights into the multiple makeup of expert skiing - equipment, biomechanics, and functional primary movements - are vital, accurate, and above all immediately useful. This book could spark a long overdue revolution in American ski instruction."-Lito Tejada-Flores, author of Breakthrough on Skis

Anyone can be an Expert Skier II is the eagerly awaited follow-up to Harald Harb's first book. With his first book, Harald Harb has demonstrated to thousands of skiers that using the right movements and equipment yields quick and obvious skiing improvement. Anyone Can Be An Expert Skier II picks up where Harb's first book ends: showing how to use the efficient technique of the Primary Movements Teaching System™ to ski expert terrain with more ease and less effort than you thought possible. Suitable for the intermediate or advanced skier, this book builds a solid technique base with the Primary Movements Teaching System™. It then applies this technique to moguls, powder and crud, carving, and steeps. In Anyone Can Be An Expert Skier II, Harb continues to provide the most up-to-date information on equipment and alignment. Learn how equipment affects your ability to move and balance while skiing, and learn how to choose equipment that will help you meet your expert skiing goals.
